You’ll own $100K+ deals, work closely with our founders and help shape how we sell a product that can change the way an entire industry operates.\nYou’ll have inbound interest, RFP opportunities, partner introductions and creative outreach to work with, alongside Commercial Associates and a team that gets behind its sellers. Your job is to turn that opportunity into lasting customer relationships and revenue.\nAbout us\nCompliance, built like product.\nFinancial services has changed enormously. Much of the technology behind compliance hasn’t. Teams still spend hours on manual checks, disconnected systems slow down launches, and entering a new market can mean rebuilding the same processes all over again.\nWe’re changing that. spektr gives regulated businesses one platform for onboarding, monitoring and investigations, with configurable workflows and AI agents that do the legwork. Product, Operations and Compliance can move together, with the control they need to grow.\nIt’s a huge opportunity in an industry that has moved slowly for too long. We’ve built a product we’re proud to put in front of the most demanding customers. Now we’re looking for people who want to help get it into their hands.\n$26M raised, including a $20M Series A led by NEA, with backing from Northzone, Seedcamp and PreSeed Ventures.\nFounders who have done this before. Mikkel and Cip built HelloFlow together and sold it to Trulioo in 2022. They’re now building spektr alongside co-founders Jan-Erik and Jeremy, taking on a much bigger part of the customer lifecycle.\nCustomers worth getting excited about. We work with businesses including Pleo, Trustly, Nexi and Santander. These are large accounts with complex problems, ambitious teams and plenty of room for us to make a difference.\nThree offices: Copenhagen, London and Iași, with customers across more than 15 countries.\nWhat you’ll do\nOwn your accounts and deals. Set the account strategy and lead the sales cycle, from discovery and qualification through proposals, pricing, negotiation and signature.\nBuild relationships across the buying team. Understand what matters to Product, Operations and Compliance, develop champions and bring decision-makers together around a clear business case.\nMake the product real for customers. Learn the platform deeply, lead tailored demos and work with spektrQ, our implementation team, on more involved demos and proofs of concept.\nTurn interest into business. Progress inbound enquiries, partner introductions and RFP opportunities, while building new opportunities in your priority accounts.\nWork closely with Commercial Associates. Collaborate on research, outreach, meeting preparation and live deals. Give them context, share your judgement and help them take on more responsibility.\nGrow the accounts you win. Work with spektrQ to identify where customers could do more with spektr, then own the commercial side of expansion into new use cases, teams and markets.\nKeep deals moving. Follow up persistently, make next steps clear and maintain an honest forecast. Bring problems to the team early and help improve how we sell.\nHow we work\nYou own the deal. The whole company helps you win it.\nOur AEs work closely with Commercial Associates throughout the sales process. spektrQ helps demonstrate what’s possible and how we’ll deliver it. Growth, marketing and partnerships create reasons for prospects to engage, and the founders get involved in strategic deals. You’ll have people to build with, challenge your thinking and help get things over the line.\nWe already have inbound interest and many opportunities to compete in RFPs. Alongside that, we actively go after the accounts we most want to work with. You’ll be expected to create opportunities too, with support and plenty of freedom in how you do it.\nWe pride ourselves on being one of the most creative outreach teams around. Nobody likes generic outreach. We send custom comics, make videos around a prospect’s business and bring people together at events. Sometimes a thoughtful email or a phone call is exactly what’s needed. Bring a good idea and you’ll find people who want to help make it happen.\nWho you are\nAn experienced B2B software seller. You’ve owned complex sales cycles, closed substantial deals and can explain how you made them happen.\nComfortable building in an early-stage company. You’ve helped develop a sales approach, opened accounts or built a market. Founding AE experience is especially relevant.\nStrong at discovery and commercial judgement. You can uncover the real problem, understand a buying process, build a business case and negotiate with confidence.\nPersonable and credible. You build trust with senior people, ask good questions and know how to win support across a buying team.\nCurious about the product. You want to use it, understand it and show customers what they could build with it.\nResourceful and persistent. You take initiative, find ways around obstacles and keep following up.\nGenerous with what you know. You enjoy developing others, work well across teams and take feedback as readily as you give it.\nExperience selling into financial services or regulated businesses is useful. What matters most is your ability to learn a complex product, understand the customer and close.\nWhy join\n$100K+ deals, with relatively quick sales cycles for our industry. Win substantial business with ambitious companies, with room to grow those accounts as they adopt more of the platform.\nA product you can believe in. Work with technology already used by demanding financial businesses, in an industry ready for a better way of doing things.\nSeveral ways into a deal. Build on inbound interest, RFPs, partnerships and events, alongside targeted outreach.\nA team behind you. Work with Commercial Associates, product experts and founders who get involved in helping you win.\nA chance to shape the company. Help build our commercial approach, develop people and feed what you learn from customers directly into the business.\nThe process\nInitial conversation with our Head of Growth or Chief of Staff\nCase study\nFinal conversation with our CEO\nspektr is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applicants regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation or any other characteristic, and we assess every candidate against the same role requirements.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6462,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Professional Services","Human Resources"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-27T14:59:37Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Senior or Specialist Worker, Skilled Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Global Business Mobility: Senior or Specialist Worker; Skilled Worker","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-31T06:23:40+00:00","sources":["UK Home Office: register of licensed sponsors (workers)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.702,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":21,"expected_fill_days":38,"reasons":["conf:3","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-31T05:58:55Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/spektr-account-executive","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/spektr-account-executive.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-31T18:46:14Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":29400,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-01T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2000663},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2000663"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fspektr-account-executive"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fspektr-account-executive"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fspektr-account-executive"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/spektr-account-executive\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fspektr-account-executive"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3339469}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"spektr.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3339469},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
